(they should be shipping 26.04 by now...)

EDIT: $100 of that difference comes from Win11 requiring an SSD upgrade from 512GB to 1TB

    Man, I thought, the whole point of the more limited OEM license (can't move to another PC; can't easily reinstall on same PC) was that the OEMs would get it for cheaper than a proper license.

    Now you're telling me, if someone gets their Windows license through an OEM, they have to pay $100+ extra for a worse product?
